I Am a Minor Character.
Nothing happens accidently.
In every great novel, there are minor characters in the beginning chapters, then they play extremely important roles in the following chapters.
We have to look at ourselves as minor characters right now, with great, great roles to prepare for and come back with in triumph in later chapters.
At four years old, my mom would come in and tuck me in and pray for me. For this reason, I know: my Abba has been writing my personal story, from the beginning of time. He is preparing me, and shaping me, and molding me. I am overwhelmed with such an idea... such grace.
May you and I both come back in later chapters with the courage of Esther, consistency of Daniel, and love for Christ as David.. Faith will move mountains, and cast them into the sea. Roadblocks are a part of the refinement process, and Satan will try to test and pull on my heartstrings when something big is about to happen; these things I've experienced personally.
By His grace will I press on.
Because the truth is, I am a minor character...if only for the time being.
